"I don't believe in destiny. Not anymore." Her dark eyes unfocused, and she looked away from Cat to rest them on Isabell. Traitor.

(Wait, who's the traitor?.... Me, or her?....)

Isabell's eyes did not lower from that of Enyalie's but returned the look steadfastly. She made no sound, nor did her features flinch to give hint of any emotion. Instead, unbreaking her gaze, she spoke to Cat.

" I'd be very interested to know where this place is so I can salvage what hours I have lost."

Cat nods and turns away. "Follow me....." She leads them to a door behind the counter, and from there is a tunnel into the mansion, built a long time ago for midnight escapes in case of danger, but this time it was the danger escaping the light.....

-Isabell...And how do you unbreak a gaze, Ann? I like it. ^_^-

Silently, she followed behind them. Normally, she was not easily tired, but now she felt weary and worn. Maybe the years were catching up to her, and maybe it was something else.

(*waits for Annwyn*)

[ Unbreaking a gaze, Ali...Is not breaking a gaze. Duh. Lol ]

Isabell followed Cat silently, keeping her eyes on the floor until they reached where they were going.

Cat shoves open a door and it slides back to show the room beyond: a huge fireplace, the firelight shimmering over everything with a dark reddish glow, the shutters on the windows shut fairly tight, and a gigantic desk in the middle, covered in lots of interesting things - skulls, papers, pens, inks, and other such things, books line the shelved walls, and huge rugs adorn the floor. "Welcome to just one room in my mansion...." A grin spreads across her face, which looks sinister in the dark red firelight....

Enyalie glanced around her, then silently crossed the room to a wall lined with books. Gently, she slid one from a shelf and blew the layer of dust from its cover, regretfully noting that she had never before heard of it, much less read it. Carefully, she set it back in its place, and turned to examine the rest of the interesting odds and ends that the room was filled with.

Cat watches Enyalie with hooded eyes, noting her every move.....

-'Fraid I'm gonna steal somethin? -

" A bed is all I really want to see." Her voice was marked with weariness and slight impatience; though the room did spark her interest. For a split second she imagined Cat leading them to a cell with ancient black coffins, each adorned with silver handles, red satin sheets on the inside. It added a bit of comic relief to her day, and thus a smile crept 'pon her face as she marvelled at what antics Hollywood would come up with next.

She watched Enyalie, finding it slightly amusing that even on her most worse of days--or nights, rather-- she could still let her curiousity take over for the sake of books.

Cat grins at Annwyn and points to a door. "Beds're through there.... Coffins are rather uncomfortable, don't you think?...." She smirks slightly, as if she had read Annwyn's thoughts....

-:coughs: Name's Isabell..-

Enyalie frowned, thoughtfully regarding the amused gaze Isabell fixed on her. With a shrug, she turned to appraise the trinkets scatted across the desk. She picked up a pen, and examined the engraved designs that ran gracefully down its length. After setting it down, she brushed her fingers across a sheet of yellowed paper, scrutinizing the elegantly flowing calligraphy that marked its purity. She held some memory of the writing, but could not remember when or where she had seen it, nor what it meant. Furrowing her brow, Enyalie pulled her hand back and stepped back to where Cat was pointing Isabell to a door.

(ARRGGHH!!!!! *whacks self in head* Darnit....)

Cat watches Enyalie run her fingers over the objects on the desk, and she raises an eyebrow ever so slightly. "Looking for something?....."

[ Calm yourself, young padawan. 'Twas only a small mistake. Use the force next time. (:]


Isabell waited calmly, the full extent of her weariness now draping over her like a blanket. Isabell blinked, trying furiously not to fall asleep right where she stood. But just then something happened that seemed to startle herself right out of her exaustion. With full alert, she piveted around to face where the sound had came from, certain it was coming from inside the bar.

Glass breaking. Shouts. It was faint, but indeed vividly discernable (sp?). A bar-room brawl between fellow vampires? Impossible. At least she thought so...Most of her kind had remained irritatingly aristocratic, thinking themselves better because of their immortality. 'Twas true, however...Isabell could not lie when she thought she felt a twinge of superiority towards the mortals, but it was overcome with envy. Those were the main reasons she preferred the life of a lone-wolf compared to a social butterfly.

Enyalie was one who happened to luckily share her view, or at least that was the feeling she got when around her.

Isabell turned and looked at Catalina, brow arched.

" Will you be checking on it then?"
